RE: [Digital BW] BW printing problems/ Anyone overcome these??

Yep. And one of my replacement 1270's (I had several, each one crappo until
the fourth or fifth) had the head wiping mechanism fitted so badly that it
couldn't even retract: result head wiper stops head moving back to home
position, cartridge initialisation sequence is broken by carriage failure,
cartridge chips are buggered - all within five minutes of being out of the
box :(

Still, I think it was the Next one that worked (and I know my expeirnce was
unusual)... and in this case it was an Epson printer printing OEM inks and
on OEM papers...
